Dr. Windy Gordon, Scottish History

Dr. Windy Gordon was born in the low country of South Carolina and discovered his Scottish roots when he stumbled across a Scottish festival in Charleston. He is Scot on both sides of his family since his mother was a Polk, which is a variation on Clan Pollock. Windy has been the president and a board member for the House of Gordon-USA.

Windy will summarize the origin of Scotland, including some of Scotland’s best historical moments and try to trace some Ammons Scottish history.
